Pastorova, B.,University of Veterinary Medicine, Kosice (Slovak Republic)
The influence of hormonal preparations of FSH in a dose of 480 IU on levels of catecholamine and the activity of their degradation enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO) in the pineal gland of sheep was investigated in the oestrous period employing radiochemical methods. The pineal gland reacted to the hormonal preparation FSH with decreased levels of norepinephrine and dopamine and with an increase in MAO activity. We suggest that FSH administration affects catecholamine levels and the activity of monoamine oxidase in the studied areas of the brain of sheep by means of a feedback mechanism.
